Lovely pieces!
I’ve been hesitant to buy as I’ve seen reviews of DOI dresses being sheer and thin. But I finally bit the bullet and bought 2 dresses! Fell so in love with the material and quality that I carted out 4 more pieces. It is sheer (can be easily fixed with your own slip underneath) but I really really love the flow and softness of the material! And customer service is amazing too! Prompt in responding and so helpful. Thank you DOI!

great brand, great dress
I love the mission of the company and had the Kyra dress on my wishlist for months. When I finally pulled the trigger and purchase the dress, I was pleased that the quality was there. The print is gorgeous and the material is comfortable and breathable making it the perfect summer dress.

Byron Bay Shop
I was able to shop in person at their store in Byron Bay, NSW. The store was gorgeous, and the woman working there was absolutely lovely, patient, and helpful. This company is doing it right from the ground up.

Whining cheap women
I cannot believe some of the people on here, words like horrific, cheap and paper thin 🤦♀️ of course the fabric is somewhat sheer, it’s soft cotton voile, and beautiful, (wear a thin cotton slip like I do, from ebe and eve) other companies sell “cheaper” but the dresses are nothing like DOI beautiful designs, the work that goes into each dress is pure love, the support given monthly! to the women/workers and baby bundle is nothing but dedication and love. I worked with community aid abroad in my younger years, I adore block printing and the slow work that goes into it, from the making of the wood block to the dye then the dress itself , the use and making of the dyes used ( I work with natural fibres and dye so it all resonates with me) I buy XL for comfort ( I’m 63) the dresses are still quite flowy on me, I just like the looseness, I’m still wearing them in winter with a layer or cardigan and boots, most days it’s just the dress, I’ve made one into a nightie, I love them that much, I wash by hand in cold water and with ‘kin kin eco wash’ and hang in the shade, I have 10 DOI dresses and now they are making them with pockets ! so I’m sure I’ll buy another, stop whining all you people maybe shop at Kmart!

No Refunds
The dress that I ordered was beyond huge. Also, the dress is very see-through. I asked to return it for a refund and they state that their policy is to give a credit only or exchange the item for another size. I'm now out $250. Do Not Order!

Hello Marina,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I'm truly sorry to hear that the dress did not meet your expectations and for any inconvenience this has caused.
Our goal is to ensure every customer is satisfied with their purchase along with true representations, and I'm sorry if you felt we fell short in this instance.
We do recognise that some of our dresses are sheer and note this on our website, we have found that it's truly a personal preference and people can choose to wear a slip or nude underwear.
We also have a beautiful selection of double lined dresses to choose from if this is of interest to you ~
Our policy does offer store credit or exchanges, but I understand your frustration.
Please reach out to our support team at hello@daughtersofindia.net so we can assist you further and find a solution that works for you.
We truly appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving your experience with us.
Warm regards,
Daughters Of India

Hello Amo,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and beautiful review. We’re deeply touched by your kind words and to hear that our dresses resonate so strongly with you ~ It means the world to us!
We’re passionate about creating garments that not only celebrate femininity but also uphold our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and fair working conditions. Your appreciation of these values reaffirms why we do what we do.
Regarding sizing, due to the handmade nature of our garments, there can be some variation with each run. We recommend reviewing the size chart for each individual product to ensure the best fit before making your purchase.
With all our gratitude,

Things to know when you purchase from…
Things to know when you purchase from Daughters of India.
- read their return policy - they are a smaller business, these details mean a lot to them so they can stay in business and continue to make beautiful clothing for us to enjoy.
- their sizes run small - size up. I am 5'8" with a 32" bust and found the XS too tight to move the shoulders unrestrictedly. I returned for a store credit credit (minus return postage) which I rolled into a S. This was a quick process and I had the S in my hands much sooner then I expected.
- These dresses are made of incredibly soft airy cotton material. As you can see in some of the product images, when backlit from behind, your silhouette will be seen through the fabric. The lighter the print, the sheerer the fabric will seem.
- Lovely summer dresses. I'm so happy every time I wear my dresses. I feel like a floaty summer fairy in these and I can't wait to see what DoI continues to produce.
